Anyone have experiences with wheaten terriers?

1 Answer

Answer :

I have known a few wheatens, and adopted some older dogs. The wheatens are lovely, but tend to have the terrier stubbornness, and older adopted dogs tend to wait a month or two or three before having the confidence to assert their true selves. The true self is probably a lovely dog, congratulations!
